ref: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006o.html#27 oops the university i was at had a 360/67 (originally installed for tss/360) ... and with all the tss/360 problems started looking for other uses (besides running it in 360/65 mode with os/360). they stumbled across the cp/67 sometime in 1967 and had three people from the science center http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech come out the last week in jan68 to install cp67. i got to play with cp67 (as an undergraduate) in addition to supporting os/360. part of that also led to us doing our own clone controller ... recent topic drift on cloning http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/aadsm25.htm#10 Crypto to defend chip IP: snake oil or good idea? above mentions the university cloning project ... and cloned controllers also motivating FS project. however, the university library also had an ONR grant and was selected to be a CICS beta test site ... and i got roped into shooting some number of early CICS bugs. misc. past post mentioning early CICS (and/or BDAM) httpL//www.galric.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#bdam
